Your first photographic memory, the first emotion.
Your most beautiful photographic memory.
Your worst memory.
These questions are very interesting. Our work as a photographer is about memories, how we keep them, how they affect and shape us as human beings.
Most of our memories are not real or have never happened as we imagine. They are only mental reconstructions. We deceive ourselves with our memories. Whenever we remember something, we change it and we are not even aware of the process.
This mechanism allows us to understand the world around us, to create our identity and helps us to live in this world. Thus, there is no first, or beautiful or bad memory of photography in our mind, but a tangle of sensations with which we reconstruct our memories.
The photographer who sparked your passion.
For us, this photographer does not exist.
There are some we love more than the others. We think that to reach inspiration we should turn to areas different from ours: painting, architecture, science, literature…
Your first photograph.
As I said before, our memory mechanism deceives us. However, for Anna, it happened when she was a teenager and used her father’s camera for the first time. And for Angel, when he was a kid, he took pictures with his grandpa’s large-format camera.
